By Geoff Adams-Spink - BBC News Online Disability Affairs Reporter

A portable lifting device which enables disabled people to access podiums, stages and other raised areas has won an award. The device is made by British company, Terry Group Ltd, and was displayed at the Interbuild Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham.

The Portable lift won the Interbuild new award for for disability access. Terry developed the portable lift to meet a demand from schools, theatres, village halls and churches which sometimes need a temporary solution to provide wheelchair access to raised areas.

"It was designed to be particularly portable and to store in to small spaces," Terry's commercial manager, Kelvin Goodacre, told BBC News Online. "It's less than the size of an upright piano and so can be stored away into cupboards or other small areas."

The device is battery operated and is designed to give a day's use without needing to be recharged.
